Linchuan Town, located in the western part of the divine and mortal world, is a port town.

The most famous of these is the pier in the south of the town, which is not only an important transit point for fishing and trade, but also the only entrance to Yixian Island.

Therefore, although Linchuan Town is named after a town, its prosperity is not inferior to that of a big city, and there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going every day.

Luo Yiyi, who was wrapped in sackcloth and covered in dirt, waited in the queue to enter the city with a half-eaten candied haws in one hand.

When it was finally her turn, the guard at the door stared at her for a long time. No one from the child's family came, and after asking without results, he assumed that Luo Yiyi must be an orphan beggar.

Although he felt sympathy, rules were rules, and the guard extended his hand to her.

"No matter who you are, you must pay three coins to enter the city."

Luo Yiyi looked down at her body and after searching for a long time, she only found a copper coin.

Since she ran away secretly, she had only two silver ingots in her storage bag. She didn't know how to save money at the beginning and lived a carefree life all day long. She went to famous restaurants for every meal and ate a lot. As a result, she was faced with the embarrassing situation of being penniless halfway through the journey.

Fortunately, there are still many good people in this world. Seeing that she was a child, many people extended a helping hand and gave her money, which allowed her to stumble here.

Unfortunately, she thought Linchuan Town was just a small town and naturally would not have the entrance fee that only big cities have. So she used all her silver in the previous village to replenish the stock of candied haws.

She had thought that she could continue to sell her misery to get funding after entering the city, but she never expected that she was penniless and couldn't even enter the city gate?

"Brother, I don't have any money right now. Can you let me go in first and I'll give it to you when I have some?"

"Little sister, it's not that I won't help you. The order of the mayor of Linchuan Town is absolute. If I disobey it, I will lose this job immediately. I have a 50-year-old mother to support and a 2-year-old child to feed. I really can't lose this good job."

"what?"

Luo Yiyi was dazed and was pushed aside by the guards to prevent her from disturbing the people behind her.

This time she escaped alone and crossed several towns to get here. She experienced all kinds of life personally, especially those ordinary people without cultivation, which touched her even more.

Ordinary people have a limited lifespan and often get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, form a new family, raise children and work together for the life of the whole family.

They are busy all the time, going out early and coming back late every day, and occasionally taking a break to spend time with their families.

Finally, by the time they are in their fifties or sixties, they have already entered the old age, and their bodies exude a visible aura of death. If they are not careful, they will leave this world forever.

Such a short life, which passes in the blink of an eye in their eyes, should be sad, but their lives are extremely fulfilling and happy.

They have absolutely no time to worry about things that are unnecessary, so they cherish their limited time. They are better at being optimistic than being pessimistic.

Luo Yiyi mixed with ordinary people and experienced the Torch Festival, Water Splashing Festival, Bonfire Festival and Bullfighting Festival. They did not distinguish between you and me, between the locals and outsiders, as long as the participants were guests, they would receive the warmest hospitality.

Standing at the edge of the lively venue, with endless beef, mutton, pork and fish in front of her, and people dancing happily hand in hand in the center of the venue, Luo Yiyi clapped and cheered happily, but her heart was empty.

She didn't know why, but at times like that she would always think of Qi Gui, wondering where he was, what he was doing, and whether he was missing her, her good master, at all.

He also thought how nice it would be if Qi Gui was here. He would play with him and help him clean up the mess no matter how big a mess he made.

She felt like she was a little lonely, a feeling she had never experienced before.

So, is Qi Gui also lonely in his heart? That's why he doesn't want to leave me. Is this the same as what I think now?

Finally, Luo Yiyi heaved a long sigh of relief, realizing how excessive it was for her to arbitrarily push Qi Gui onto others.

She thought at the time that she must sincerely apologize to Qi Gui when she saw him again, but as time went by, the urge to apologize gradually subsided, and she became timid instead.

Just like now.

Everyone, including those entering the city and the guards, stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction they came from.

In the flying dust, four horses carrying four handsome men and beautiful women came galloping and stopped in time outside the crowd.

Seeing the person coming, Luo Yiyi was so scared that she almost jumped up. She quickly hid in the corner of the wall and looked out stealthily.

The four young men jumped off their horses nimbly and led the horses forward.

Amazed by the four people's angelic appearance and temperament, the two originally long queues moved aside, allowing them to arrive in front of the guards unhindered.

One of the young men took out a token from his pocket and handed it to the guard with both hands.

"I am Xia Zixuan, a disciple of Taiyi Sect, and I am here at the invitation of the mayor."

The guard looked at the token carefully and confirmed that it was a pass issued by the mayor. He immediately realized that the four people in front of him had special identities, so he stepped aside and let them pass.

Xia Zixuan smiled at him and then signaled the other three to follow him into the city.

Suddenly, one of the boys stopped and looked towards the crowd on the left with a frown.

Xia Zixuan was puzzled: "Qi Gui, what's wrong?"

Qi Gui searched the crowd sharply with his eyes, but when he found nothing, he turned around and continued walking forward.

"It's okay, I guess I'm just overthinking it."

Ding Yurou beside him teased, "You are so worried. How many times have you done this along the way? Steward He clearly said that the master-uncle was in seclusion."

Qi Gui was helpless: "Sister Yu Rou, please stop teasing me."

In front of them, Yao Siyan stood beside Xia Zixuan and smiled secretly.

"Brother Xia, if you hadn't told me that Qi Gui's master was only 8 years old, I would have thought he was a baby who hadn't been weaned yet."

Xia Zixuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth after hearing this. This disciple of Xuannv Sect had a plain appearance. When he first met her, he thought she had a gentle personality. Unexpectedly, she was a straightforward person who said whatever she thought.

"cough!"

He coughed to call the three people's attention back: "Let's go, the mayor is still waiting for us."

So the three of them didn't delay any longer, quickened their pace and walked towards the door, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

Soon, people in the queue began to whisper, all speculating on the identities of the four people. However, the guards quickly resumed their work, checking, collecting money, and letting people into the city step by step.

In the corner of the city wall, Luo Yiyi, who was squatting on the ground and huddled in a ball, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard people around her say that the four people had gone away.

She stood up from the ground and was about to turn back to find a way to get into the city, but she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

It was another person hiding in the corner of the city wall. She was wearing a hooded robe. The wide hood almost covered most of her face, leaving only her pink lips and pointed chin exposed.

The corners of Luo Yiyi's mouth slowly curled up into an evil arc, and the invisible big tail behind her swayed happily.

She stepped forward and slapped the squatting figure hard, scaring the other person so much that he jumped up from the ground.

"Hey! Long time no see - Qiaoqiao~"
